Looney 2008
This year our family is doing great!
Take just a moment for this short update.
Our little quiet Kailey is lots of fun.
Doing everything with the big kids she forgets she's only one.
Hunter started TaeKwonDo now that he's four.
He likes baseball and cowboy boots; He's never a bore!
Hannah is 6 and in grade one.
Dance, yoga, sleeping, and shopping are the things she finds fun.
Our 3rd grader Tanner loves being eight.
Being baptized, starting scouts, and his black belt were all worth the wait.
Middle school keeps Taylor quite busy.
With TaeKwonDo, scouts, and band we're all kinda dizzy.
Running our TaeKwonDo school is worth all the work.
Spending so much time together is and added perk.
Brendan teaches and does lots of training still.
Earning his 4th Degree Black Belt was a really big thrill.
Mandi finds time for her new hobby of blogging.
She does Jiu-Jitsu, TaeKwonDo, and yoga, but still hates jogging.
We hope you are well, safe, and happy this season,
As we give thanks let's remember that Christ is the reason.
We send wishes of hope as we finish this line:
Here's to peace, love, & happiness in 2009!

Looney San Antonio Christmas
The annual Looney/LeBouef Christmas at Brendan's grandparents Paul and Genie was wonderful as usual. I wanted to get lots of pictures with Grandpa, but he wasn't feeling well, so we let him rest. He did come out and greet us with big hugs when we arrived. We did get pictures with Gram though. She was as lively and energetic as ever. I've never met anyone with more Christmas spirit and she went way overboard as usual. 
Here's Gram with all of the Brendan's boy cousins. In the back there is Todd, Chris(Renee's husband), Charlie, Jacob, & Brendan. I think Steven's the only one missing. He's in Iraq, but he'll be home for next years!

All the guys got leather jackets for Christmas. Brendan's uncle Jim said, "Do we get Harley's next year?"LOL.
Here is Gram with the great granddaughter's.Hannah, Kailey, Payton, and Emerson. There aren't many girls, so they really stick together. The big girls hold the little girls hands or carry them around all night. "Happy" had to be in the picture, 'cause she's a girl too.
Kailey and Emerson just loved each other! Here they are hugging in the kitchen. They both thought the other was a baby and so cute.
Brendan and his sister Sara.
Hannah just loves Payton and talks about her all year long.

Hunter got to open the first present of the night. He was so excited. We loved seeing every one and just wish we could all get together more often.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
The Perfect Tree!After searching the field for what seemed like hours, we finally went back to the one we knew was "our tree" from the beginning. It happens that way every year. All the trees are beautiful, but there's only one that's right for us. Our job: find it and chop it down.
The kids get to take turns with the saw(with Daddy's help).
Tanner drug our tree all the way back to the tractor by himself this year.
We all have fun on the hay ride and love to play tether ball while we're at the tree farm. Getting our tree is my favorite of all of our family traditions.

Christmas Parade
We participated in the Leander Christmas parade and tree lighting along with some of our students. This was our second year to do it and it's an absolute blast! I ride in the back of the decorated truck with some of the kids and we sing a TaeKwonDo holiday carol that my mom wrote for us. Some of the older kids and the adults walk behind us, handing out candy canes. The weather was gorgeous and the kids were so excited and well behaved.
Taylor and Kailey
Tanner securing "The Guy" to the back of the truck. My mom painted him for us to put out in front of the school for advertising. She always tries to name him. "Black belt Billy" or "TaeKwonDo Tim" or something, but we usually call him "The Guy" anyway.
Hunter and Mitchell
